About this listen

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, the Conference Finals continue as a new week begins. The Tampa Bay Lightning stormed back in Game 3 against the New York Rangers to make the Eastern Conference Final a series once more, with goaltenders Igor Shesterkin and Andrei Vasilevskiy taking center stage.

Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke next discuss the Western Conference Final, with the Colorado Avalanche holding a 3-0 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers headed into Tuesday. Former NHL referee Tim Peel put his foot in his mouth once more when tweeting about Evander Kane’s dirty hit on Nazem Kadri that likely knocked the Avs forward out of the series.

Plus, the NHL Awards are slowly trickling in, but — as always — they’re not without controversy. Both the Mark Messier Leadership Award and the Masterton Trophy feel unnecessary in today’s NHL for differing reasons.
